first, you have the bell button on the floor then you rotate the break handle to stop the train (impressive technology... isn't it? ;o)) In the corner, the is a state-of-the-art sand bucket... so, during winter, on icy rails, if the break remain useless, the conductor pull the emergency handle which activate a complex mechanism (lol)that spread sand on the rails just in front of the trucks ... Easy, isn't it?
I wonder why we dont have sand breaking system in our automobile ...
WS: if my 'scientific' explanation is not enough, I have posted a 'map' in the WS ;o)
